Comedians Unite For “Two’s Company,”at Plaza

An inimitable combination of the screen, Ned Sparks and Gordon Harker, in an Anglo-American “war” which becomes an alliance, makes “Two's Company,” the British and Dominions film, which is the cause of great hilarity at the Plaza Theatre, a comedy of outstanding merit. A splendid supporting programme includes a newsreel of Wotan’s great win in the Melbourne Cup, and the start of Jean Batten from England on her flight to New Zealand. “In the Soup.” The mere appearance of the vacuous- y expreseioned Ralph Lynn is a sign that laughter is imminent, and the story with which he is provided in bus latest comedy, “In the Soup,” offers him as many opportunities of fooling as ever.
